The Year of the Rooster comes alive on this impressive gold coin from 2005. Representing the tenth release in the celebrated Australian Lunar Series I, this substantial piece contains two troy ounces of highly refined 0.9999 fine gold. With a limited mintage of just 2,129 pieces, it stands as a remarkable example of modern sovereign minting. The reverse of the coin showcases a detailed depiction of a rooster crowing at the sun, capturing the energy of the tenth animal in the Chinese zodiac cycle. This side also features the traditional Chinese character representing the rooster, alongside the technical specifications inscribed as "2 OZ 9999 GOLD". On the obverse, a right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II is displayed. The surrounding inscriptions confirm its status as legal tender, reading "ELIZABETH II", "AUSTRALIA", and the face value of "200 DOLLARS". Backed by the Perth Mint, this coin combines meticulous craftsmanship with exceptional purity, offering a fascinating window into lunar-themed numismatics.
